New Puyallup Brewery just weeks away (plus, Sarah learns some geography) – by North Seattle Sarah, North Seattle Bureau Chief – Eric Akeson was an excited man as he was sipping his beer last night at Naked City Brewery and Taphouse in Greenwood. You see, after making his first homebrew 17 years ago, he’s finally…
About one year ago we first told you about Reuben’s Brews, when home brewer Adam Robbings’ Roasted Rye IPA took the 2010 PNA Winter Beer Taste by storm (read it) and won first place. Fast-forward. About one week ago someone forwarded to me a curious email from Adam Robbings, who was apparently looking for a…
I have just updated our list of Washington Breweries and Brewpubs to include all of the microbreweries currently licensed in the state. We have added a total of 11 entries and removed one, so really the net total is nine, with eight new breweries. Sufficiently confused? I thought so. By our counting, there are now…
On August 18th we published a post about new breweries. The target is moving, so I am doing it again. More new microbreweries are on the horizon. The information below is in addition to what we published back in August (read it here). Some of those license applications are still pending approval. For a while…

Back in December, we posted an early distant warning about a new brewery opening in Poulsbo. Today we’re posting more information. Jeff Holcomb, owner/brewer at Valholl Brewing, sent us this update to share: Just wanted to throw you an update about Valholl Brewing. We got our Brewers Notice and just need final walk-through for our…
Tomorrow is the final of three release parties for the South Sound’s newest brewery, 7 Seas Brewing of Gig Harbor. The Red Hot in Tacoma is hosting the first ever release of the Ballz Deep Double IPA. When we met with the guys from 7 Seas a couple weeks ago, they said there was an outside chance that…
On Wednesday Oct. 15, Big Al is coming to Mukilteo. The recently revamped Pacific Rim Brewery in White Center is now Big Al’s Brewery. You wouldn’t recognize the place! No more Rat City IPA, but a yummy new selection from Al’s own recipe book. For you northenders, this is a rare chance to get up close and personal with…
